High Priority Email Sound Notification / Alert - General Questions and Answers

Hi
Is there any way I can assign a notification sound based upon the priority of the incoming email? If somebody sends me a "High Priority" email, I would like the Windows mobile device to sound an Alert.
TIA

Any body have an app that does that?

Touchdown can do this on an android device. You have to set a rule. i didnt want to spend the 20 bucks but i tried others and they didnt have option for high priority. It seems this would be a core offering for an exchange email app. A lot of business users need hi pri notifications.

+1 on Touchdown

Request for rules-based email alerts

I know I'm not the only one that wants this...
Being an admin my box is constantly filled with stuff that I really don't want to wake me at 3am. However, when an outage or other high priority alert comes through, it would be AWESOME if I could alert on only those messages, or have a different alert for them.
Any chance that anyone is working on an app that would let the user specify an alert based on an email rule or filter? This is one I'd pay for gladly.

You need to specify which mail client you're using.. If you're using K9, you can most likely use Tasker to do this. http://www.dinglisch.net/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?catselect=29
For me, I have it notify me with a second, remarkable notification immediately after the standard one for new email for special emails I want to read immediately. You could get fancy and have it only notify once with a unique sound if necessary.
As an admin, what are you using for business email? If it's Exchange/Outlook or Google Apps/Outlook you can simply set this up a series of rules in Outlook and have only relevant/whitelisted emails pushed to your mobile device. It's probably possible with Gmail as well, but I haven't tried it.
Good luck!
We're on Exchange. Your solution has merit, however I still want access to all emails on my device. I'd just like to be able to configure which ones alert via some very simple rules/filters.
I know that Froyo is supposed to have better exchange support. I can only hope that if it supports folders, perhaps I can set alerts for certain folders. Then I could set some server side rules to auto-sort as they come in.
We'll see...

email alert app request!

I search for an app for my htc legend that can do things like phonealarm vor winmobile.
I really want to have custom alert tones for sender or special word in email like phonealarm can do.
Also i search for an app than displays an email on homescreen when its incomming like smspopup.
Hope somebody can help
Tasker can do this, and a zillion other things if you want. Look for in the Market in a few days, or visit the forum.
http://www.dinglisch.net/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?catselect=29
Example..
Context: Email Received (K9)
From: [blank]
Subject: geo*published* matches this for example: [GEO] Notify: IronHorseReviewer published USS Kentucky Challenge - E4 (Traditional Cache)
Task:
Wait 2s
Notify Sound
Title: Whatever important email
Sound File: [browse to whatever sound file]
Voila.. Plays the normal email sound, then 2 seconds later, the auxiliary sound. If you're very picky and only want ONE tone, you could disable alerts in K9 entirely and play two different sounds, depending upon if it matches or not.
Yes, this depends on K9 being used. But K9 is awesome, can't see why anyone wouldn't use it.
it wouldt be great if your app wouldt work with the htc mail client because i use exchange to get my mails an it does not work in k9

Oh, not my app, but.. Yeah, sorry to hear that. I'm using IMAP here, hadn't considered Exchange. I'll ask him where the "Email received" Event comes from, it might be a Locale plugin.. He leverages them if they exist on the phone.

[Q] Looking for Android email client with rules and notifications

I am receiving dozens emails daily from different automated processes. I hate having to check my mail every X minutes and scroll through the list of all messages (I currently use K9 mail).
What I am looking for is email application (paid is fine) that can do this:
1) If email has high priority play sound I select (possibly until I manually acknowledge alarm)
2) If subject or body contain specific sub-string play sound I select (possibly until I manually acknowledge alarm)
Does anyone know of Android email client compatible with CM 7.1 that can do that?

Not able to customize SMS ringtones

Well, I haven't seen anything about this here, (my search-fu might not be polling the right keywords) but this is bad news ya'll. The more that I research into this, the more that I see that Samsung chose to remove this feature. It is available on other Oreo devices (not Samsung's though, s8 s8+ users are affected after oreo update as well.) I tried Textra, and I can change the tone for the conversation, but that's hacky, not totally effective for group chats, and it is not sending or receiving all of my messages. I hate the single ringtone.
Anyone else frustrated by this?
(edit: thread is dead)Samsung forum thread https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...d-id/GeneralDiscussion/page/1/thread-id/19318
(edit) general Samsung discussion, at least 3 threads as of posting were about the text tones. https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/General-Discussion/bd-p/GeneralDiscussion
I'm equally annoyed by this. As many are from what I can find on other sites. Beyond me as to why Samsung decided to remove features. ? hoping for a fix soon on the native messaging app. I'll pass on 3rd party.

Are you referring to the stock SMS app? I use Chomp SMS and can change the notification sound.

Go to settings > notifications > messages and then it is by category one sound for general alerts and one for new messages you can change the sound whether it vibrates or the importance

The OP is talking about assigning a specific tone to each individual contact, so you know who's texting you without looking.
I too am not thrilled with this because I want to use the Samsung messaging application for its integration on the phone and on my s3 watch go figure text notifications don't work as smoothly on the watch when your not using the Samsung messaging application. Seems specifically due to oreo.
I beta tested the S8+ Oreo and requested this feature. They said that not all features may be included in the Beta but may show up in the final release. I was skeptical and it appears they did do away with it. It was one of my favorite features, I hope they bring it back.

I've checked out a bunch of apps, and I can custom assign tones to conversations (its not the contact that gets the tone) but that gets confusing on multicontact conversations. I setup a group sms chat with the family, but now its 1 tone for the conversation, rather than each person with their own tone. Very Frustrating. Hoping that the feature comes back.
The new android messages now allows custom conversation notifications, but it's not like the setting in contacts. But it is better than nothing and I'll keep hoping Samsung includes it in a later update.

Is this in the stock message application? How did you set it per coversation?
Just do it twice and it will set

Do what twice? There's no place in the Samsung app, or in Samsung contacts, to set a message tone.
No, only can set custom conversation tones in apps like Textra and Chomp. The stock app only uses the default text sound (or the one that is set globally)

Not sure what you mean, but I have done lots of things twice, and still no custom sms/mms tones per contact.
IT seems that Samsung might be paying attention:
